Elbow brace with movable support

Abstract

A laminated elbow brace made of a unique blend of material combining Airpreene™ material with Coolmax™ material as a liner having a movable support. Airpreene™ material affords the properties of heat retention, compression and breathability, while Coolmax™ material wicks perspiration away from the skin and dries the area quickly. The combination of these materials provides compression and heat retention to the patient while providing wearing comfort.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An elbow brace comprising: an upper and lower section made from a unique lamination of material that provides heat retention and compression with breathability while also providing whisking of perspiration away from the patient's skin to dry the patient's skin area quickly;   a center section between said upper and lower sections for surrounding an elbow on an arm of the patient; and   a support movably attachable to said center section at a location adjacent to the elbow on a posterior surface of the arm to provide support to the elbow and tendentious relief.   
     
     
       2. The elbow brace according to claim 1, further comprising an inner shell made from said unique lamination of material. 
     
     
       3. The elbow brace according to claim 2, wherein an inner layer of said inner shell is in contact with the patient's skin and is made of a material that whisks perspiration away from the skin to dry the skin quickly. 
     
     
       4. The elbow brace according to claim 1, wherein said center section includes a mesh fastener material for receiving a hook fastener material on said movable support to fasten said movable support to said center section and provide support to the elbow.
